Letter: HMB Toastmasters

Letter to the editor

By on Wed, November 14, 2007

With the holidays approaching, many of us will be at dinner and have an opportunity to express your thanks and love for friends and family. This year, you might consider making a toast that people will remember.

Toastmasters can help build a seemingly impromptu sort of style…and it works great in job interviews!

How many times have you been to a wedding or at a presentation, and you encounter a speaker that is clearly uncomfortable? I heard a best man speech last year, where I actually broke a sweat and was embarrassed for him.  I didn’t want to watch! 

Toastmasters can help you design and rehearse your prepared speeches…and very effective for larger groups!

Most people have trouble even saying their name, birth date and home town in front of a group. We’re here to offer a forum for improving our communication skills through practice and feedback.

We have a small, casually professional kind of group, and we’re growing.  We’ve risen from recent membership challenges, and after the new year, we’ll be going strong again.

Our meetings are conveniently located in the Sun Room at the Ted Adcock Community Center at 535 Kelly Ave. on the 2nd & 4th Thursday of every month from 7-8pm.
